Judy Garland - Hoe Down Lyrics

When our Grandmas and our Grandpas were just girls and boys
The seemed to have a lot more fun than we
Their party clothes were calicoes and homemade courturoys
And the big event was called a husking bee

A banjo and a fiddle and a big old fashioned barn
Was all the preparation that they made
And if they tell you otherwise, dismiss it as a yarn
Refreshments were confined to lemonade

Now you may say itæ¦¯ Corny
And I guess I must agree
But it was good enough for Grandma
It was good enough for Grandpa
And itæ¦¯ Good enough for me

Hoe down the countryæ¦¯ Gone hoe down
It's puttin' its toe down and kickin' its heels
Hoe down, it's really a rare dance
A pioneer square dance but with a new deal

One, two, swing your partner lightly
While you hold her ever so tightly
And bring your best beau down
We're havin' a show down and gotta make hast
'Cause hoe down on it way

Stand in line and do the Turkey
Like a Yankee Doodle Dandy
When you turkey do it jerky
That the trick, now your hoein' on down

Sashay, sashay, sashay
Around while you're hoein' on down
Form a circle in the middle
Everybody Allemande
